Smith3D Matte PLA FAQ
Q: Does matte PLA really hide layer lines?
A: Yes, the matte texture naturally diffuses light, making layer lines far less visible than with glossy PLA, especially at 0.2mm layer height.
Q: Is matte PLA as strong as regular PLA?
A: Mechanical properties are similar to standard PLA. The matte additives mainly affect appearance, not strength.
Q: Can I post-process matte PLA?
A: Yes, though sanding may create shiny spots. Painting works well, and the matte surface provides good primer adhesion.

I print w ender 3 pro. Best results achieved with direct drive
Pro – looks great on a lot of prints – architectural and product design. Can be dehydrated – I used oven with fan convection at 45 degree for 6 hours and print will be smooth again.
Cons – pricier and also tend to absorbs moisture.
